The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. Florence Scovel Shinn University AIDS policy issued to insure safety Singer feat ured speaker by Bridget Sullivan Staff Writer A New York City singer, actress and dancer was one featured speaker during the Bloomsburg Women 's Center Eight Annual Conference held Saturday, April 16 on the Bloomsburg University Campus. According to the conference coordinator/director Betsy Dowd, the activities began Friday night with Elizabeth Hodcs' presentation entitled "Women's"World." Dowd said Hodes "has been wellreceived on [the BU] campus in the past." Registration for the conference began in the Presidents' Lounge of the Kehr Union Building from 8 a.m. The conference lasted until 4 p.m. More than 60 workshops, all of interest to women were presented. Women attending the conference attended four workshops. A continental breakfast and luncheon was provided. Dr. Wilma Brady discussed "Women Paying the Price for Peace" as the keynote speaker. Following Dr. Brady's talk, Outstanding Women Awards were presented. Women were nominated in eight different fields, such as education and business. They must be nominated be a person or organization for Columbia or Montour counties. Dramatic readings by women wrapped up the day's activities, followed by Happy Hour at Russell's commencing at 4:30 p.m. An art exhibit was presented in the Presidents' Lounge all weekend, featuring landscape artist Cynthia Dennis and sculptor and ceramic artist Kathy Watson. In addition to the conference Quest sponsored a White Water Rafting trip for women Sunday afternoon. Dowd explains the conference is open to all women, "The idea behind the conference is feminist based, but these is a broad mix of people in it, [ranging from] grandmothers trying to broaden themselves [to] farm women interacting with career minded women." The committee emphasized that they can not force the university to follow the policies, only recommend possible solutions to problems that may arise from the AIDS problem. The committee also stated they are working on the educational programming problems. Hranitz and Jean Kalat, assistant professor of nursing, agreed to work together on drafting the cover letter. Carpenter brought up the issue of cleaning weekend "messes," such as vomit , from the residence halls when no housekeeping is available. "What we need is some kind of absorbant material to soak up the messes until housekeeping can take care of it," Carpenter said. Housekeeping agreed to look into the possibilities, as well as getting heavy gloves for the housekeeping staff to wear while doing their daily cleaning. The AIDS committee also reviewed the revised addition of the athletic department's AIDS policy. After being reviewed, it was decided that a few more changes are needed. These revisions were mosdy dealing with the specific wording of some of the statements. The committee examined the Samanam II CPR mask, brought by Lynold McGhee, occupational health and safety officer. The mask is designed to allow no body fluids to be exchanged when administering CPR . McGhee added that "the new design is more flexible and can be carried easily on the body." The committee plans lo distribute the mask to Law Enforcement officials. Carpenter suggested the mask should be made available in the residence halls. Hranitz distributed to all committee members information published be the American College Health Association (ACHA) entitled General Statement on Institutional Response to AIDS .' The next AIDS committee meeting will be April 28, when educational programming and the ACHA 's information will be discussed. by Mike Mullen Sports Editor The Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) decided not to add Theta Chi as a member of IFC for the fall semester at the IFC meeting held last night in the Kehr Union Building. "I have no opinions as of yet because I want to discuss the decision with ihc rest of my fraternity," said Mike Morrissey, Theta Chi president , after the decision was announced. "I feel that concessions were made that should satisfy us, but I can't make a statement until I have a chance to meet with my fraternity as a whole." Morrissey said. Concessions, such as allowing Theta Chi to have a pledge class next semester, were given based on the fac t that, IFC felt that "they did deserve something," even though they did not complete every aspect of the probationary status satisfactorily, They received a tentative six-point program allowing Theta Chi to continue under their probationary status with these revisions. The first will be the fact that Theta Chi will be allowed to conduct an official rush and have a pledgeclass in the fall semester. Secondly, although not able to mix individually, Theta Chi would be able to attend an all-Greek mixer if they organize the mixer. EFC felt that this would be an ideal way for members to get to know other ff _ lif __ f 1wlffirflr lyiylflfflvl vJii Ml fraternities, not only at the mixer, but while organizing the event. Two things would remain the same, one being that the displaying of letters in any way is a violation of probation, except on their two rush days, and secondly they would continue to have a non-voting representative on IFC. The fourth item revised was regarding their involvement in IFC sports. Although still unable to compete, they will not have to officiate anymore, but will be asked to offer their assistance in organizing and running the events. The last revision arose through a misunderstanding about the amount of money that is required to be kept in the escrow account with the university . IFC requires an amount of $500 be in the account , while Theta Chi was under a different impression. Jeff Smith , IFC president, said, "I feel that it was a fair decision. We reviewed the facts and we reviewed the requirements of the probation and saw that some were violated." So, we tried to concentrate on disallowing things that they had abused, " Smith added. Two of the areas that IFC felt Theta Chi had been remiss in were IFC sports and the displaying of letters. Three different isolated incidents involving letters were cited at the meeting and were admitted to by the representatives of Theta Chi in attendance. This had a tremendous effect on the decision to disallow the displaying of letters for the duration of the probationary period. "I could foresee problems going in to the meeting," Morrissey said, "We admitted to to the letters issue. We are excited about the pledge class, but without letters, we will get no publicity and that will hurt our rush." The decision was met with mixed emotions from Lori Barsness , Bloomsburg 's Greek advisor. "I have seen Theta Chi go through their highs and lows this semester and I understand that IFC has had a difficult time with this issue. I am glad that the door is still open for fulladmission to IFC and I think that this presentation has given them a better view of Theta Chi," she said. Tom Barbush , IFC representative from Sigma Iota Omega, said, "It was a definite showing that having a seal on the IFC board isn't something that can be accomplished easily. We showed that Theta Chi did gain a part of IFC, but with more effort the full privilege of IFC can be enjoyed." Smith said, "I hope they stay in the IFC community and work with us. I also hope our organizations give them support in the next step of the process." Barsness added, "Theta Chi and other fraternities must work together and continue that spirit of cooperation . Theta Chi realizes they have made a positive step and they want to be a part of it (IFC)." "IFC has come along way and Theta Chi will be a good addition to both IFC and the Greek community," Barsness concluded , "I have no problem with IFC being adamant in their position. They expect a lot from Theta Chi and in the end it will make for a stronger Greek system." Beta Sigma Delta brothers Mark Urcvich and Tom Hutchinson , with the help of Biko, helped raise money for the Leukemia Foundation , Saturday during their annu al DuckWalk. Photo by John Risdon Maintaining alleys will be an op tion Th eta Chi not added to IFC Contrary to an article published in the April 14 issue of The Voice, maintaining the bowling alleys will be a choice on the questionnaire to be distributed during the April 26 class officer elections. The article failed to include "continue to operate the alley " as an option for students during the elections. According to Dr. John Trathen , director of student activities, students should realize they do have a say in determining the fate of the alleys. If enough students vote to keep the alleys, they will remain in the Kehr Union Building. Trathen added that if students vote to keep the alleys, he hopes they will be used. He reported there has been a decrease in sales in the alleys during the past few weeks. Other choices that will be included in the questionnaire are create a permanent home for Cheers and other activities, and as a student lounge/study area in the space currently occupied by the bowling alley. Also, there is a space for a write-in suggestion of what to do with the space. Trathen said he believes that whether the lanes are removed should depend on what will benefit the student body the most. Students should take this into consideration when voting. "Students should not vote to keep the alleys here if they do not plan on using them ," Trathen added. Creation evolution and new movement top ics of seminars by Cindy Hurst Staff Writer Creation and Evolution and the new age movement were among the topic discussed and two seminars sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Brian Sauder , a graduate of Penn State University, came to Bloomsburg from D.O.V.E. Christian Fellowship International to speak on Creation and Evolution and the New Age Movement. In his creation and evolution presentation , Sauder described the viewpoints of both theistic and naturalistic scientists. "I challenged the students to take a close look at the facts and to think about what they believe,"Sauder said. He did this through a discussion on the philosophy of science. Using uncomplex examples , Sauder pointed out some of the conflicts and inconsistencies in the evolution model. "A common argument students often have against the creation model is that creation scientists are in the minority and that the missing links of evolution will eventually be found through research," Sauder said. Sauder said the audience was atten- by Lisa Barnes for The Voice Revised AIDS policies will be sent to all faculty and staff along wilh a cover letter from the AIDS committee explaining the importance of these policies, a Thursday meeting of Bloomsburg University AIDS decided. Dee Hranitz, committee chairperson, noted that they will be sending these policies and letters with the cooperation of Dr. Jcrrold Griffi s, vice-president for student life, to "noti fy all personnel on taking the proper measures to insure total safety ." Hranitz added lhat the policies will be sent out only after "they have been reviewed and accepted by [the committee]". Jennie Carpenter, director of Residence Life, questioned who will make the faculty and staff follow the policies. Carpenter also expressed concern about the lack of educational programming among the staff and faculty dealing with the AIDS epidemic. tive, and although not everyone agreed, they were at least challenged to think about what they believe and why they believe it. Sauder answered many questions at the end of the seminar. In Thursday's discussion on the New Age Movement, Sauder pointed out that many people are experiencing meaninglessness in their lives and are therefore searching for meaning and purpose from many kinds of "guiding forces." This movement is sweeping through Central America and Europe. New Agers believe we are all gods and that Jesus Christ was a god, as we are. Sauder added that the movement is a result of secular humanism and that humanism in its highest degree removes God from mankind. Sauder said, "Every man is seeking after a god of some sort, and as a Christian, I believe that if a person does not know that living God , he'll make one." He added that the god the New Age Movement teaches is a force, not a personal God. "Many people try to achieve peace and power through the use of drugs and alcohol. People are looking for a supernatural experience that only Jesus Christ can bring to their lives," Sauder said. Index I New York City hotel owners are charged with tax evasion.

Qualified for what? Surely not as president of the United States. Jackson has h_ id no governmental experience. Americans do not want a man , who has never held a public office , lo gain on-the-job experience in our most powerful governmental position. Especiall y nol a man with Jackson 's past record. First , Jackson refcred to Jews as "H yniics " and New York as "Hymielown. " I' m sure this will nol help him win the New York primary where Jews account for about a quarter of the Democrati c vote. Jackson also claims thai lie "has no recollection " of his stalcmcnls about Ihc Jews. Thus , I do not want a man elected president who is prejudice. Second , there is Jackson 's relationship wilh Louis Farrakhan , a black Muslim leader who has called Hitlcra great man. Jackson has been quoted speaking about Farrakhan, I respect him very much." This statement proves how radical Jackson can be. Finally, consider Jackson 's position on defense and foreign policy. He would cut weapons such as the Stealth bomber , Midgctman missile and the advantageous ballistic-missile submarines. He would also eliminate S.D.I, and cut U.S. Iroop strength by at least 100,000 in Europe. By eliminating these defense weapons, the United States would no longer have mutual assured destruction willi the Soviet Union , which is To the Editor This is in response to Ken Kirsch' s letter on the "downswing " of INXS. Come on Ken , give us a break .Instead of cutting up a music fan , why don 'l you jusl let him express his opinion? Personall y, fro m raiding your column , I had gained nothing. Well , not true. I have come lo realize that your opinions arc totall y self-centered and useless (like that classic one on Springsteen vs. Bill y Joel). Simp ly because you do not like the new INXS album docs nol mean it 's not good. The band had said they wanted each of their albums to sound different from the last, and they have successfully done so. Now that takes talent. Perhaps the main reason not many peop le showed up to the concert on Oct. 27 was because their new album , KICK , hadn 't even come out yet. Their last album ,Listen Like Thieves, had been released almost two years ago. mi \mm. w the assurance that wc could effectively retaliate against a Soviet strike. Jackson is willing to eliminate all deterrents we have against the Soviet Union. Even moderate and conservative Democrats fear his foreign policy. Jackson has said ,"If 1were white , I would be the nominee." I say, if he were while, Jackson wouldn 'tcvcnbc on the ticket. Jesse Jackson is a persuasive and dynamic communicator , but he is not qualified to be president of the United Suites. Fred Schott Condoms in book store i To the Editor The decision to sell condoms at cost at the University Store is a curious one indeed. It seems to me that students at a university would be more appropriatel y served by having text books sold at cost and condoms sold for a profit. Father Chet Snyder Catholic Campus Ministry , Everyone has an opinion I think by saying that fans like Mr. Hoover don 't know the difference between the "real" thing and a cheap imitation was a pretty ignorant statement. At least it 's easy to distinguish between a "real" critic and a cheap imitation. Real critics learn to accept criticism , Mr. Kirsch , nol whine like a baby. Sincerely An avid music lover In s upport of D ukakis To the Editor We arc pleased to see at least one individual had the interest in the campaign thus far to respond to our story about Dukakis in your Apri l 11 issue. We hope the primary race generates broad interest and debate among supporters of all the candidates, since we need energy, not apathy, to win in November. Let us make one or two comments about Mr . Lindner 's letter to bring our support for Mike Dukakis into focus. First , we are not newcomers to the Dukakis campaign. When we helped him win reelection to governor in 1982-83, we knew then he was presidential material and encouraged him to run. Our first letter to the Dukakis campaign manager , John Sasso, in my computer file , is dated March 20, 1987 and wc have been active supporters of Dukakis from the beginning, because we always believed he was the best qualified candidate. This is not to disparage Mr. Are lanes needed? THE. Jackson , but to make the point that it is possible to be an avid supporter of Dukakis on his own merits. We also believe that anyone who has been politically conscious for the last 10 years or so has known about Mike Dukakis and followed his career wilh interest, much as the careers of Bill Bradley, Sam Nunn and Jesse Jackson have been the subject of comment even when they were nol running for anything in particular. Next, what was Dukakis doing while Jackson was runningPUSH and planning his campaign? He was proving what Mario denied , thai you can govern a major industrial state while running for president. The day The Voice published Mr. Lindner 's letter was the day the New York Times announced final passage of the first program guaranteeing universal health insurance for all (including low-income workers previously denied benefits , and the unemployed), in Massachusetts. This program took years of planning, advocacy and consensus build- ing, and is typ ical of the kind of prograniming-Mikc Dukakis will seek to enact if he is elected in November. Dukakis cannot help his race or class or citmic backround anymore than any other candidate. He is the son of immigrants , aitendcd Swarthmorc and Harvard on the basis of merit, and has worked to serve the public all his life. It strikes me as odd to hold his experience , organizations and success agaiifsi him. The workers of America , the elderly and all Americans in general, need honesty and competence working for them in Washington , and that is wh y wc are supporting Mike Dukakis lliis year. II " you wish details on his issues, I have position papers on mostsubjects available for copy ing. In the meantime , wc need helpgciling outthe vote on Primary day, and planning for the fall campai gn over ihc summer.

Times-Wo:hington Post Service Hotel tyoons Harry and Leona Helmsley aid two of their former financial auvisers proclaimed their innocence Thursday as the state accused then of tax evasion , conspiracy, scheming to defraud and falsifying busincis records. The Hcmslcys, Joseph V. Licari , senior vie;presiden t and chief financial officsr of their Helmsley Enterprises, aid Frank J. Turco, vice presidentane'ehief of financial services for Helmsby Hotels, appeared before Acting New York State Supreme Court Justice Carol Bcrkman , as a 188-tount slate indictment was handxl up by a grand jury . Bifkman denied the stale Atlorncy Gcreral's office request that the Heriislcyseach post$1 million bonds ant' instead released Uiem on their ov/i recognizance. The defendants will be arraigned in L.S. District Court here next week on asimilar , 47-count federal tax evasion indictment that was also returned ihursday. Earlier , the Hclmsleys, whose $5 million real estate empire includes 27 hotels and the Empire Suite Building, surrendered at New York Attorney General Robert Abrams ' office , where they were fingerprinted , photographed and booked. The Hclmsleys arrived in a silver stretch imousinc about 7:40 a.m. Clad in a bright red dress, Mrs. Helmsley linked arms with her husband anl smiled as the couple entered Abram.'' office building. The indictment, word of which had leakedout earlier this week, charges that b.tween June 1983, and April 1986, about $4 million in Helmsley company funds were used to refurbish 1 the couple's $11 million , 28-acrc estate in Greenwich , Conn., which they purchased on June 20, 1983. The expenditures included a SI million pool enclosure for one of the estate's two pools that added a breakfast room and marble dance floors, $500,000 worth of jade artwork , more than $130,000 for an indoor-outdoor music system, and more than $370,000 in landscaping. The indictment alleges that these expenses were paid by various hotels and properties owned by the Hclmsleys and that the four defendants falsified business records to disguise the expenses as corporate rather than personal. The indictment also accuses the Hclmsleys of filing false personal , corporate and partnership returns with New York authorities. In addition , the indi-tmcnl claims that the couple 's Park Lane hotel paid for a $45,000 silver clock Mrs. Helmsley gave her husband for his birthday in 1984 that was designed in the shape of the Helmsley Building on Park Avenue. The same hotel was also billed for "uniform s" that allegedly were a white lace and pink satin dress and jacket and a while chiffon skirt that Abrams said were worth about 52,000. The defendants were accused of conspiracy to commit extortion by demanding free goods and services from contractors doing business wilh the company. Helmsley employees allegedl y were instructed to prepare false, and fraudulent travel vouchers lo generate cash for Mrs. Helmsley. If convicted on the state charges, the defendants face up lo four years in prison and fines of $5,000 on each felony count.

The hijackers , according to these sources, are drawn frcm two main groups - Lebanese radicals moving in the orbitofthe Islamic Jihad , and Iraqi expatriates with connections to, although not necessarily ordered into action by, the Opposition Da'wa party. A similar team is said to have been responsible for 'he hijacking of a Kuwait Airways Airbus in December 1984. The demand the.., as now, was for the release of 17 convicted terrorists held in Kuwait. Tne 1984 hijacking ended after six nays when Iranian commandos storned the plane, but there is no evidence that the hijackers were ever broufht to trial. In the opinion of Lebanese observers, thehijacke s of KU422 are showing uunusual determination not to surrender without winning some corn cession from Kuwait , indicating that the ordeal of the passengers still aboard the plane may be far from over. According to one source, who knows himj well , the mastermind of this lateff hijacking is Imad MugniyetiJ an early member of Lebanon s Hezbollah Party whose interest in the Kuwai 17 stems from the fact that one of the 17, Badre Mustafa Badreddine, is related to his wife. . Badreddine received the death sentence after being found guilty in connection with the bombings of the French and American embassies in Kuwait in December 1983.

Negotiations among countries in the region might. "We don 't need to kill women and children ," McBrayer said in an interview last week. "This tiling has got to stop." Wilh those words , McBrayer joined a coalition of mainline Protestants, Catholics and Jews who in the last five years have been the loudest and most consistent critics of the Reagan administration 's policy of military intervcniion in Central America, according to members of Congress, lobbyists and spokesmen for the administration. Not since the waning days of the Vietnam war have mainstream church goers become galvanized around a forei gn policy issue to that extent, church leaders say. A legislative newsletter called Impact '88, sponsored by 17 Protestant, Catholic and Jewish groups and focused on the upcoming congressional campaigns, is blunt: "For Americans, the number one moral problem of this decade is public policy in Central America." The impact these churches have had on U.S. policy is hard to measure, but forei gn policy analysts say it is undeniable that by stirring up and sustaining public rejection of military intervention , they have restrained the president in what he was willing to propose and Congress in what it was willing to finance. "They have made it much more difficult for Reagan to pursue the policy of unrestrained military escalation he advocated early on ," said William M. LeoGrande, political science professor at American University. Drawing on years of work in Central American missions, a grass-roots constituency in the United States and an unusually unified moral position, these religious organizations have helped turn some members of Congress around and helped defeat others. Cindy Buhl , director of the political action committee Pax Americas, credits churches and church-affiliated groups wilh helping whittle the list of congressional swing votes on Central America-from about 80 House votes in 1984 to about 30 now and from approximately 16 in the Senate four years ago to 5 now. "They organized early and best," she said. The religious lobby's presence was fel t during recent House discussions on Contra aid. "They 've lobbied on other issues, but on this one I really saw the impact," said George Kundanis, floor assistant to Rep. Thomas S. Foley, DWash., who helped the majority leader engineer Democratic alternatives. "Conservative constituents picked this issue out as different." "I don 't know of a single foreign policy issue on which they 've weighed in more heavily,'' said Rep. Henry J. Hyde, R-UL , a Reagan supporter. "It has been a clerical fullcourt press. They were particularl y effective in marginal districts." Rep. Dave McCurdy, D-Okla., from Norman , one of those marginal districts, was "definitely lobbied more on Central America than on any other issue," said legislative assistant Mike Chapman. His constituents are split on military aid for the Contras, Chapman said, "but all the church groups were saying no aid, no aid." On Feb. 3, McCurdy voted against Reagan 's last attempt at lethal aid for the Contras. Clearly, other factors have influenced members such as McCurdy, notably the progress of the peace plan proposed by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. Yet few in Congress deny that each side wanted the churches ' help, particularly because every vote was close. When the Democratic leadership was putting together its fragile , $30. 8 million package of humanitarian aid for Nicaragua last month , Rep. David R. Obey, D-Wis., called on the U.S. Catholic Conference, the policymaking body of Catholic bishops, for support. The Democratic caucus staff gave members of Congress a list of organizations supporting or opposing the proposal, which began, "Due lo the interest of many members in the positions of peace and religious organizations on the Democratic package... . " Church groups split over the plan , breaking a pattern of unity. All but five GOP members voted against it , and the plan failed , 208 to 216.

The frown fades behind a smile as he reminisces about j iis stay in Bloomsburg from 197/ to the pres^ ent. As he makes clear iys intention of leaving BU and the theatre this summer to go the Japan ese way of "free-enterprising," he leaves behind a rich tradition of visual at and philosopy. On choosing Bloomsbuig as the university to teach at , Sab commented , "I had taught at Duke University and the University tf Wisconsin before coming here ani what immediately attracted me to this campus was not onl y because of its beautiful rural setting but the absence of any rig id line of demarcatioi '^between the campus and the town.'' On education , Sato believe, it should not stand aloof and disftni from everyday life. Instead , it shoald be ingrained as we live and breaih. "School ," said Sato, "should not be the preparation for life, it is life." Sato 's aesthetic perceptions were fascinated by theatre as a medium of presenting ones philisophical half. "This art has a great immediacy. If you learned the theory yesterday, you must practice it today." What then , has held back: the general public from seeking theatre as a mode of entertainment? It is the the emergence of the mass communication channel which has immobilized it. Sato remarks, "It was proper for a boy in the 60's to dress fornally and take his date to a theatre. That is not the case today. They would ruber go to a movie which , with its Tiechanized control of human movements produces a much more paatable form of pleasure."

The students came from the areas of Danville , Benton , Milton , Berwick , M o n t o u r , Catawissa , Millville , and Bloomsburg to enjoy a day of dining and dancing. And , because the students from the different areas were not yet acquainted with one another , the Abortion issue Opinions differ on new law By Richard Bullaro Staff Writer Governor Casey recently signed a bill that would limit the availability of abortions in Pennsylvania. According to an Associated Press article, the first part of the new law would require woman under the age of 18 to have the written consent of at least one parent or a court order to receive an abortion. The law also requires women who are the victims of rape or incest to report the crime to the proper authorities before becoming eligible for public funds for an abortion. There are many mixed feelings about this new ruling. "I think the bill is good in requiring the report of rape, but severely limits the rights of individuals under 18," says Bridgcit Sullivan , a freshman at Bloomsburg University. "Requiring something like that (parents' permission) takes away personal freedom of choice." Likewise , freshman Chrissa Hosking feels that it should not be necessary to h;"'"; a parent 's permission to receive an abortion. "I feel that you should have to inform your parents, but not need their permission, " says Hosking, "They should have the choice to do what they want with their own bodies. " Many pro-choice supporters do not agree with any part of the bill . Jane Pavlaca Frantz, who teaches journalism at Bloomsburg , feels that a woman 's personal choice should not be limited in any way. "I agree The Peking Acrobats will be performing their amazing acrobatics on April 20 in Mitrani Hall. Their agility has amazed audiences around the world.

However, on this tour, the leading acrobat is a 61-year-old veteran who has astonished audiences by appearing in virtually every act of the show. The veteran Che Li was introduced to acrobatics at the age of eight and was obsessed by this Chinese art form that dates back 2000 years. His fascination led to nearly six decades of dedication which has included rigorous training, teaching, designing and performing.

Franiz continued by offering an alternative to this mandatory consent. She believes that women under 18 may need guidance in making a decision such as this, and may be able to find that guidance in profession als. Sophomore Staccy DiMcdio believes lhat it is a good idea to report a rape so that the attacker can be apprehended , but she docs not agree that reporting it should be required by law. It should be a women 's choice to report a rape, nol the governments." Frantz agrees, "Often the attacker is someone that the women knows, and she is reluctant to report such a crime because of the embarrassment involved." She believes that the new law is a form of "punishment" for not reporting the crime. Many people believe that the law is good in requiring women under the age of 18 to have a parent 's consent. "Abortion is a personal choice, and people under 18 are not mature enough to make that choice alone," says freshman Angela Candori . Junior Troy Hunsinger believes that the law is fair because women under 18 are still under their parents' rule and should have their consent before getting an abortion. Ellen Maresca, 21, says "people under 18 are too young to be engaged in sex...it is too easy to get an abortion these days." She says that parents should talk to their children about sex and contraception. A local nursing student agrees lhat women under 18 should have a parent 's consent. She says, "In schools today, education about relationships is much different than it was twenty years ago...today, kids arc more informed about sex and wc need something like this." Most pro-life supporters do not agree with the new legislation because it docs not outlaw abortion . "I don 't feel that abortion should be condoned in any way, shape, or form ,"says Sally Francola, 19, "bull recognize that every person has the right to their own opinion." A freshman at Bloomsburg believes that the new law will not change anything because it will not deter abortion. "I' m against abortion in general and I don 't see how this will make much of a difference," says the freshman. Some believe that this new law will cause an increase in illegal abortions in Pennsylvania. "If they can 't get an abortion the legal way , they 'll go to someone who will do it regardless of the law ," says a juni or mass communications major , "It may also cause an increase in the suicide rate." It is evident that the new law has stirred many different reactions from the community. According to the AP article, spokespersons for the American Civil Liberties of Pennsy lvania labeled the new law "a civil liberties disaster." **••••••••••• ••*••*•**** ••••••• •••••••••••••• •••*•••••••• "* t t * * P The easiest puzzle you 'll ever solve. j s^f&sa mu • :ii~¦ :,,,„._ ..„:-: * ft ¦:$ «RJHI -4U_f _J P-i--vv - -^^ __S_r ., ...:;, "K t J t ;'"T•: ;-¦•™ • n_i" t •••••••• I j i ! —i [ P^P : ' :—I .

As an educator he would raher follow the eastern formal methoc of teaching, which renders the hi.rarchial set-up to a distinctive level. "A teacher is there to teach and lie student is there to learn." What Soto most fondly remembers as a teacher is the production unit _f Bell Shazzar ,a play he directed. "Tie entire class worked for 20-22 hoursa day to make the production a success." The success of the play was not is box office draw, but the fact that it made the student form a productive combination of artist/humanbeing " To Soto, education had alwa/s meant a philosophical "soul searching". The future of present day college theatre and educations seems bleak to him not onl y because "it has been made too easy", but also because "the students are no longer motivated by the intellectual search for a higher reality." For him , education does not confine itself to the four walls of a classroom, instead it is global. Soto also listed internationalism as one of the inhiirent aspects of school life. "When I akended the University of North Carolina , we used to havean international dorm where the international students and a large number of American stukents lived together. • ¦* ¦¥ That led to the closest bond of friendship and mutual tespect."

Mimi Mikalac, student director for "Raisin in the Sun " shares her feelings on the production. "Andre Wills, a theatre major , was the first to approach the department with the idea of presenting the BU students with the social dilemma that a common black famil y encounters in their day-to-day lives. Raisin in the Sun was selected as it highlighted a plot about a family which faces problems concerning money, religion and abortion . His extra effort and initiative made the theatre department aware of the lack of student activities for the black students on campus and how unaware the students were in general of the black social problems." On her relationship with the actors, Mikalac said, "I had a long talk with my actors before we started on the project and came to the conclusion that I, being a white, and them , being blacks would have no impactwhatso- This actress is captured in a seriou s mom ent during her performance in Raisin in the Sun , which ran from April 15-17.

They achieved a degree of comfort when , according to Mikalic, everyone became "color blind."

Measures of self-acceptance, selfimage and self-assuredness have all been found to correlate positively with such variables as increased aerobic capacity , aerobic-fitness scores, running activity, and general physical fitness. Mary Kane, a senior, rides bike, runs, lifts weights and does aerobics. Kane says that , "exercise makes you feel good.It makes you look good, so you can go out and meet more people." John Rohrbach , also a senior , agrees. "It makes me feel better, physically and mentally." Rohrbach alternates his exercise routine between weight-lifting, racquetball , and tennis. Recently, he attended one of of the aerobic classes offered in the Centennial Gym and recommends the experience to both men and women. "I enjoyed it much more than jogg ing because of the music and people-it wasn 't boring. It was a good change of routine." And Chris DeMarco, a junior, at- tends aerobics because of the sense of accomplishment she gets for "getting through the hour without falling over." DeMarco says, "If I'm having a bad day, aerobics helps get out my frustrations in a non-violent way." In addition to boosting self-esteem, exercise appears to have an effect on tension and anxiety levels. Exercise not only rids the body of certain stresses, but it produces a tension-free state after a workout. A\*& There are many different outlooks on the role of exercise.

Dan Nagcl recorded two goals in that game including the game winner . Gary McClain , Troy Francisco and Tod Gibian each added a goal for the winning cause. "This is the first time wc have ever beaten Penn State twice in one season," said head coach Bill Acicrno about the victory. "In the past we have cither split wilh them or lost twice." Then on Saturday, the Huskies took a win by forfeit as Lycoming College was unable to play. After that, it was up against a tough visisting Bucknell team that the Huskies had logo head to head with. The offense responded with McClain scoring two goals for the victors. Don Shearer and Tod Gibian each added a lone goal in the effort and for the second game in a row , Dan Nagel netted the game-winning goal. The wins by the Huskies can be contributed to many factors, but none is more prominent than the goalkccping of Mark Burkholder. In the game against Bucknell Burkholder recorded 13 saves and had 14 saves in the Huskies' victory over Penn Stale. The three victories by Bloomsburg raised their overall record to 7-0 en the season and head coach Bill Acierno has some hig h hopes for the rest of the season.

The New Jersey Devils handed the New York Islanders a fourgamcs-to-lwo victory in the playoff scries. The Devils ' goaltender , Scan Burke , was outstanding in the nets. In game Uircc , Burke handed the Islanders a 3-0 shutout. In the other Patrick Di vision , the Washington Capitals took care of the Philadelphia Flyers in seven games. The Cap itals were able to come back from a two-game deficit. The Flyers weren 't able to quiet the heart and soul of the Capitals 's Dal Hunter. Hunter scored the game winning goal in overtime of Game Seven. In the Adams Division , there were no surprises. The top two teams, the Montreal Canadicns and the Boston Bruins , took care of their respected foes rather easily. Stcp hanc Richer scored six goals against the Hartford Whalers. The Whalers lost their goalie, Mike Luit , in Game One to an inj u ry . The Boston Bruins took care of the Buffalo Sabres in six games. In a losing cause , John Tucker scored six goals for the Sabres. In the Campbell Conference Norris Division ihc Detroit Red Wings surprised mc because I thought they would roll over and die because the loss of Steve Y/.crman. Y/.crman is my choice for the League's MVP for his 102 points in 64 games. Pctrc Klima came through for the Red Wings as the offensive gun. Greg Stefan picked up the slack against the Toronto Maple Leafs when Glen Hanlon went down wilh an injury. In the other playoff scries, the St. Louis Blues defeated the Chicago Black Hawks in five games. Youngsters Tony Hrkac and Brent Hull arc coming out of the series as superstars . In the Smytlic Division , the showdown between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers was set by both teams advancing. The Calgary Flames took care of the Los Angeles Kings in fi ve games. Haakan Loob picked up where he left off. The Oilers look care of the Winni peg Jets in 5 games. Wayne Grctzky came lo play with his usual playoff form. Glenn Anderson received a match penalty in Game Four and a five minute slashing penalty in Game Five. The League onl y fined Anderson for the incidents. For all you Flyers fans, they have to rebuild a bit after their playoff performance. Goalie Ron Hextall looked miserable throughout the scries. The goon tactics didn 't work in the playoffs and haven ' t seemed to work during the regular season. A general agreement for the fans of the NHL is to change the format for making the playoffs. The New York Rangers finished with 82 points and the Pittsburgh Penguins finished with 81. The Maple Leafs and the Kings finished in the middle 50s. I think the old system of taking the top 16 teams no matter what division they are in is the best format for making the playoffs. For the second round , look for the Cap itals , Canadiens , Red Wings, and the Flames to eliminate their opposition and advance to the semi-finals. In a wild and hairy slugfest against Pennsylvania rival Kutztown , the Bloomsburg University women's lacrosse team won a 16-14 decision on the strength of Calhy Samples five goals. Bloomsburg had been winning the game at the half by an 8-5 count but was outscored 9-8 in the second half to make the game closer. The win kept Bloomsburg's hopes of a PSAC playoff berth alive. In a non-conference match against Drew University, Bloomsburg's offense was stifled and was able to score onl y hal f the total of its output the in the previous game. In the first half , Drew jumped out to an early 6-3 lead on the strong play of Jean Jordan. Jordan finished with four goals. Bloomsburg came back strong in the second half , outscoring Drew by a 5-4 count ot make the game close. Bloomsburg finall y fell by a score of 10-8. Bloomsburg outshot Drew by a 3629 count , but couldn 't convert the shots. Drew's goalie, Scarpa ,, stymied the Huskies' offense and stifled the attack as she had 18 saves on the day. For Bloomsburg , Ruth Doyle had a good day as she turned away 10 shots on goal . Kell y Cuthbcrl led the team against Drew scoring three goals and adding an assist. Chris Scavo , "Cathy Samples , Sherry Hoover , Cindy Dacchc and Nancy Warmcrdam each had a goal while Rhodes added an assist. The loss dropped the Huskies to 23 overall on the year, but the win at Kutztown left them 2-2 in the PSAC and definitely in the ninning for a playoff spot , only two games behind the division leader.

Men 's tennis team blanks Army, 9-0 Philadelphia sports: The end of an era by Mike Mullen Sports Editor How many of us can remember back to the beginning of the 1980s? Sure most of us can do it, heck Jimmy Carter was still president in 1980 when the decade began. The decade began in a very good way in Philadelphia. First off , their beloved Phillies became World Champions after some 97 years of waiting. Then th ree month s later, the Eagles, forever victims of Monday morning quarterbacks, beat Dallas to earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Unfortunatl y, they lost. The point was still clear, though and it hung in every Philadelphian 's mind but they dared not utter a word. Perhaps this could be the beginning of a little prosperity in the sports world? Would the decade of the 80's be kinder than the 70's had? Every fan of just about any Philadelphia team remembers the 70's as a time they would like to forget. In 1972, you have a man named Steve Carlton win the Cy Young Award by winning 27 games. The team barely won 60 and finished dead last in its division. In 1976, the Sixers adopted the "We owe you one" slogan due to their early departure from the playoffs. This soon began to add up to we owe you several, as year after year, they just couldn't capture that elusive crown. That same year was the beginning of a domination by the Phillies of the National League East that would conitnue through 1983 excepting 1979, 1981 and 1982. But the early years were not good to this young team. Although winning 100 games two years in a row, they couldn't escape the vacuum of the league championship playoffs. First the Reds dropped them in three, yes this was back when theLCS was a respectable number of games, not like the farce now, then the Dodgers beat them two years in a row by 31 counts both years. The only good thing was the Flyers, but that was well forgotten as they hadn 't seriously challenged in a while. No, all was not well in the 70's for Philadelphia. But wait, could the 80's be a redemption? At first it appeared as if it would. The World Series victory, the Eagles first appearance in the Super Bowl, things were looking up. Things got even better, when in 1982, the Sixers, six years late, decided to repay that old debt and took an NBA crown. What could stop this town from competing with New York and Los Angeles in terms of athletic competition? • Well, themselves. Success had tasted too sweet to the fans of Philadelphia and perhaps they weren't ready for it. They kept booing as they had for so many years. Front offices did major rearranging and stepped on many toes, hell even the good Doctor was put up for trade. Was nothing sacred? The beginning of the end could be seen when the Phillies again made a trip to the World Series in 1983, but posed very little threat and quietly lost quickly to Baltimore. Another sign was then flashed when the Flyers, seemingly invincible, lost a crushing seven game series to the Great One and Edmonton and lost the Stanley Cup. Is this what Julius Erving had warned us of in his farewell speech given on the night of his last home game, probably the last time any Sixer fan really had anything to cheer about? Look around, the Sixers didn 't qualify for the playoffs for the first time in twelve years, the Flyers got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round , and the Phillies start 3-1, then take the rest of the summer off. It definitely is the end of an era my friends . One that started twelve years ago with some guys you could look up to like Erving and Schmidt. They cared, they played hard. Now they are almost all gone. The City of Champions has died.
